Re: What will you Vestigitize first?
their plan for increased difficulty sounds awful. imagine, you're on increased difficulty, nearly dying, almost getting one-shotted, struggling to survive, then in comes a normal difficulty setting player that just wrecks the enemy in 0.5 seconds, making you look like you don't know how to play, or like some noob with no gear.

Re: Has this year's Jubilee event been too stingy with their rewards?
The one event I actively farm and enjoy every yeat!!
Rewards seem the same and as most of my "farming" is crafting dailies, no box cooldown for me!
Have only not received an Aetherial Dust on one day and dropped a cipher today, my motif stash is gaining in size rapidly too.
Getting plenty of other nice mats also, especially the more annoying style stones used in furnishings. 😁

Re: bounties for players
People want to do the hunting, like you, but no one wants to be the hunted. That’s basically it. The hunter has no stake in it and nothing to lose. Yet the hunted has everything to lose.

Re: Public Dungeons do not count as "foes" for the new tome challenge? Why?
In LotRO you can end up killing 450 of a just a particular type of enemy within a zone for just single minor achievements. I used to do multiple of those within a day. Doing 1000 over than span of literal months really doesn't strike me as a challenge. Just running around every couple days for a few minutes will easily complete the thing.
And wasn't there a whole other thread about too many tome points being available? So dramatic.
At this point there is nothing they can put into those tomes that won't be complained about by at least one person here. But what can you expect from an entire generation of "writ-crafting add-on using MMO players", when playing is the least of their concerns...

Re: The Hundredth Rabbit of Wrothgar
The snow was already trampled when Frogthroat the Royal Jester arrived to Wrothgar.
Shouts of "+1000" echoed throughout the forest.
Being a shrewd hunter, Frogthroat ignored them all.
A thousand lives, a thousand tome points. Such is the price paid in blood.
Trusty old thunder stick and a lance made of pure light by his side.
Stalking through the forest.
Wolves, bears, ogres, wraiths, durzogs, all fell before him.
Even giants and mammoths were no match.
A particularly large bull echatere gave a fight. The battle roared.
Horn against lance, a symphony of lightning and muscle.
In the end even mighty echatere must bow before Frogthroat.
He collected his price sombrely, verified tally, until a small glimpse caught his eye.
A dead squirrel, its tiny warm body still steaming on the blood-stained snow.
He checked his tally again. All as should plus one more.
"The squirrel... counts?" Frogthroat thought incredulously.
Madness overtook him. Indiscriminate bloodbath.
Laughter accompanied slaughter.
Beast or critter, cute or monstrous, it's all the same now.
Wolves and squirrels, bears and bunnies.
All must die. Not a heart left beating.
White snow turned red. Sounds of forest turned silence.
When the task was done, the tally counted and verified.
All that was left was a lonely figure.
Frogthroat the Royal Jester. And his laughter.

What about you? What will you Vestigitize first?
My main just started Elsweyr, so I might start with that. But I'm curious about the base game zones. I can't tell you how many times I've played through Glenumbra and I'm really curious to play some of the quest bosses throughout the storyline.
I also have a self-imposed challenge character - strict no magic use, can't use anything that even looks like magic, etc. - I'm curious to compare combat between the new difficulty level with no restrictions and gearing toward overland, and the combat difficulty of my challenge build.
Also, looking forward to possibly seeing creators come out with vestige difficulty builds and strategies.
Re: I’m not convinced that these battle passes are a good fit for ESO.
I love that new content is being added to the base game for free, and I'm willing to support lessened quantity of new content if it means they choose to make it higher quality and worth playing in the first place.
But I agree that the battle-pass is in an odd place on their first attempt. The focus on the rewards feels random. And it may just need time to develop more. I have been spending my tome points just on trade bars and endeavors, in preparation for when there is something that I do want to get that is later added to the shop.
In terms of what's unique to the tome, there is not much that feels like it's there to expand on interacting with the game setting. In the paid version there is a low quality personality, some armor that seems to be khajiit-hircine themed(?) and some vague orange and blue things to fit the title dawn and dusk.
To me, that doesn't feel like it presents nor represents anything. It just kinda exists. I think if they leaned in on a direction or two, they would get more purchases and pursuits of the tomes. Make dawn and dusk full of unique things that connect to the celestial bodies, magnus, jone and jode, Azura, etc. across the cultures, classes, and factions of tamriel.
I haven't even been bothering to really do the challenges. The battle-pass exists in the back of the mind and gameplay. At least for me.

Re: So what's the deal with Bonus pages?
It wouldn't surprise me if what happened was while designing the system someone said "other season passes have bonus pages at the end, ours should have bonus pages" so they re-named the last 2 pages and called it done.

It’s one of the reasons I really don’t enjoy ToT anymore but I’m still playing because I need one more scraps of the Spearhead fragment. I’m close to opening 1000 gold boxes and still only at 9/10. Another rng disaster.
I am with you. I got one (1) Spearhead fragment on average from opening approximately 90 gold boxes.
It's sort of wild that ESO can sometimes function like a medieval torture mechanism.
